How about that Tivo-like guide someone implemented in the past?

speaking of which what ever happened to that tivoguide variant. I think we should 
include it with a different name for all the obvious reasons, but i actually liked it 
quite a bit.

Re: [Freevo-devel] Re: New Idea

2004-08-24 Thread Richard van Paasen
Another idea for the textual version of the tv guide is to restrict the 
information on one page to either one channel or one time-box. Browsing 
through the tv guide "pages" (either channels or time boxes) then can be 
done with the left/right keys on the remote. Walking through rows on a 
page with up/down.

E.g. (channel mode):
Channel 1
08.00   program 1
08.10   program 2
09.00   program 3
10.30   program 4
18.00   program 5
...
E.g. (time-box mode):
Programs running at 08.05:
Channel 1   Program w
Channel 2   Program x
Channel 3   Program y
Channel 4   Program z
...
The tv-guide should be able to toggle between "time-box" and "channels" 
mode. This way more space (i.e. the total width of the screen) is 
available for a tv guide entry. Time-box mode could step by 5 minutes or 
so when pressing the left/right (pageing) key.

Hope this description is clear enough, mail me otherwise!
Richard.

The guide can of course be designed in many different ways, I'm just
suggesting a different way to display a view on the tv guide.
   

BTW, I don't like the current tv guide. Too much information in many
small boxes. If anyone has a new idea, please post. I can create that
guide, but I need ideas from you.

I don't like it either.

I plan on copying Media Center for MeBox.  I think its guide layout is
nice:
